The film looks into the root causes of the worldwide financial crisis of 2007–2009 and the recovery stimulus that many Governments have poured out. While putting forward an indictment of the current economic order in the United States and capitalism in general, Moore looks at Wall Street's "casino mentality", for-profit prisons, Goldman Sachs' influence in Washington, DC, the poverty-level of many airline pilots, the large wave of home foreclosures, and the consequences of "runaway greed". The film also features a religious component where Moore examines whether or not capitalism is a sin and if Jesus would be a capitalist.

Tickets are $18 waged, or $14 concession (should be for those affected by Labor's asset sales). This screening is being put on by the Electrical Trades Union Light on the Hill campaign as part of the Queensland anti-privatisation campaign.

I, too, saw the doco and thought Moore did a great job. However, it was obviously produced before Obama ran into opposition from the Health Insurance Corporatists and the White House refusal to talk with FOX NEWS.
